FactGM tried to keep the all-new C3's shape secret - then Mattel's Hot Wheels line leaked it weeks early with a die-cast "Custom Corvette" toy modeled on the real 1968 car.
The "Shark" Corvette, in coupe and T-top/convertible form, built for fifteen years. One trim per engine per model year because the ratings changed almost every year. 1968–1971 horsepower is SAE gross; the 1971 net ratings were 210 (base), 275 (LT-1), 285 (LS5) and 325 (LS6) hp. 1972 on is SAE net. The cited page also lists an LS7 (1970) and a ZL1 (1969); neither reached customers in meaningful numbers, so neither is included.

An estimate, for the Base 350 trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.
Nobody has claimed one yet.
The ZR1X's 6:49.275 Nürburgring record for an American production car fell in April 2026 to a Mustang GTD Competition, at 6:40.8.
The C8 ZR1 broke with every ZR1 before it — instead of a front supercharged V8, it runs a rear twin-turbo V8, making it the most powerful Corvette Chevrolet has ever built.
Chevrolet bolted a front electric motor into a Z06 body to make the E-Ray the first Corvette ever sold with all-wheel drive.
The Z06's naturally aspirated LT6 V8 dethroned a Mercedes to become the most powerful naturally aspirated production V8 engine ever built.
For the first time since the original 1953 Corvette, Chevrolet builds a factory right-hand-drive C8 — the only RHD vehicle GM assembles on the line rather than converts afterward.
The last-ever C7 Corvette wasn't a base Stingray — it was a black Z06 coupe, auctioned for charity in June 2019 months before the actual car was even assembled that November.
This ZR1's supercharger isn't just bigger for show — at 2.6 litres, it displaces 52% more than the Z06's, a big reason it out-muscles its sibling.
The C7 Corvette borrows literal space-age tech: Aerogel, a NASA-developed insulating material, lines the transmission tunnel to keep its heat out of the cabin.
Chevrolet put a window in the hood of the ZR1 so owners could watch their own intercooler work.
The Z06 paced both the 2006 Daytona 500 and the 2006 Indianapolis 500, the same year it went on sale.
The C6 broke a four-decade habit — it’s the first Corvette generation to wear exposed headlights instead of hidden units since the original 1962 model.
Chevrolet's weight-saving obsession on the C5 Z06 went all the way down to the radio: engineers fixed the rear antenna in place, permanently, rather than let it retract, just to shave a few more ounces.
The C5 ended production on July 2, 2004 — making it, alongside the Lotus Esprit, the last car ever built with pop-up headlights.
GM bought Lotus in 1986 partly to build this Corvette, and a stock ZR1 then set seven FIA world records in Texas.
GM ordered every 1983 Corvette prototype destroyed. One white pre-production car escaped the crusher, sat forgotten for years — and even survived the museum sinkhole in 2014.
GM tried to keep the all-new C3's shape secret - then Mattel's Hot Wheels line leaked it weeks early with a die-cast "Custom Corvette" toy modeled on the real 1968 car.
The split rear window was a one-year-only thing -- Chevy's own Zora Arkus-Duntov hated it for blocking rear visibility and had it deleted after 1963, making that year's coupe an instant collectible.
The Corvette almost wore the American flag as its emblem — GM scrapped the idea before production because federal law bars the flag from appearing on a commercial product.
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
